How can we help you

Individual therapy is a collaborative process between the Clinical Psychologist and the patient. Psychological therapy for individuals is a structured process that involves an assessment of the presenting problem, identification of causes of the problem, and application of treatment strategies to resolve the problem.

Couples therapy is a collaborative process between a Clinical Psychologist and a couple. The target of therapy is the relationship. The couple and the clinician work to understand the causes of problems in the relationship, which may include, poor communication, high levels of conflict, dissatisfaction, and conflicting goals and values.

Group therapy is a structured Clinician-led process where particular problems shared by a group of people are understood, and strategies are applied. Groups at Walters Green Clinical Psychology are typically limited to six-eight participants.

Common problems that respond well to group treatment include social anxiety, depression, and panic attacks.

Child Psychologists have a particular interest in assessing and treating psychological problems that arise in childhood. A thorough assessment usually involving the parents, teachers, and other key support people determines the nature of the problem with strategies applied to attempt to resolve the concern/s.

Problems can include, shyness and social anxiety, school refusal, oppositional behaviours, refusal to obey rules at home, obsessional behaviours, and attention problems.
